My Husband and I have been to Docklow Pools twice and it is a fabulous place to go to . The accommodation is very clean , The Scenery is stunning, The walks through the woods are great ,the fishing is great with lots of lakes to fish , the meals are amazing , and most of all Jonathon and all his staff are very friendly, very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them .

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 61 reviews
A timber framed market house built by the King's Carpenter, John Abel, in 1633. Grange Court is now owned by the community of Leominster through LARC Development Trust, who purchased the building from Herefordshire Council for £1. Visitors to Grange Court can learn about the building's impressive history using vibrant interpretation, hire the space for private or community use, or just relax in the cafe with a coffee. Admission is free. Outside there is a beautiful knot garden to the front of the building and a lovely walled garden to the rear. We are fully accessible inside and out with baby changing and shower facilities and welcome children and dogs.

We went to see this house because we had seen a model of it in the centre of Leominster. it was fascinating - hard to believe that it had been taken apart and rebuilt, it is so intricate. The cafe was very good, coffee brought to our table, and the whole house was immaculate. The loos were first class! I spent a lot of time with the exhibition of embroidery which was truly great, very original, beautifully executed. I had not expected a particularly interesting visit, but it exceeded my expectations

Called for an impromptu visit on a rainy day and had great fun ten pin bowling. Good covid measures in place. There is also a mini golf and driving range too plus a nice cafe/restaurant. We'll worth a visit.
6. The Priory Church of St. Peter & St. Paul

Reviewed By milimana - Worcester, United Kingdom
This church is attractively sited in a quiet leafy park a short walk away from the town centre and it is listed in Simon Jenkins' England's Thousand Best Churches. It is a curious blend of three quite distinctive periods in church architecture and it's worth examing these from the outside before exploring the interior. The tower and the carved doorway below it is Norman, to the right is a typical Perpendicular window of a second, later nave, to the right again is a far more elaborate window in the Decorated style. The sequence of five Decorated windows on the south elevation is particularly fine, studded with ballflowers and with lovely circular tracery at the top of each. Inside the massive round columns of the Norman nave, topped with arcades of fairly rough stonework, contrast with the much lighter open spaces of the south nave and south aisle. The layout is therefore, unusually, just three large chambers, no transept, or tacked-on extra chapels. We had a good wander around for an hour or so with the help of the printed guides to hand. The ducking stool is an additional curiousity.
